Miss Markoe, and the Historical Family to
Which She Belongs.

Miss MarkOe, and the Historical Family to
which She belongs.
Miss Sophie Dallas Markoe, who il is said
Is 10 marry Secretary Of State Bayard, has
relatives living in st. Paul in the person of
DIR. j. c. Markoe and his brother, writes a
correspondent from the Minnesota capital
Miss Markoe was born in Washington, and
is now nearly forty years Of age, although
looking younger. Frank Markoe, her
father, was the first secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution, and held several impor-
tant positions in Washington. He fell into
disrepute during the war because Of his
sympathies with the South, in consequence
OF which he lost fortune and died a poor
man, leaving his family in destitute circum-
stances. Miss Markoe's great grand uncle,
Abram MarkOe, who was also DIR. Markoe's
grandfather, was the first Captain Of the
Philadelphia City Troop, a well-known mill
tary organization of the last century, to
which he presented stand Of col
ors after which the United States flag was
modelled. This relative was the owner Of
the square bounded by Chestnut Mar
ket, Eighth and Ninth streets, in Phila-
delphia, and when the question of the loca-
ton Of the National capital had not yet been
settled he donated the south half of the
block for Washington's residence. Upon this
site now stands the post-office building
Miss harkoe has been employed in the State
Department since 1879 or 1850, as also has
her sister Mary, who has charge Of the
translation OF foreign letters At the time
james q. Blaine was appointed Secretary
OF state a law was passed forbidding two
members Of the same family holding posi-
tons I'm the same department, and he ex-
pressed himself as determined. that the law
should be obeyed The head clerk brought
the Markoe case before the Secretary and
asked which one Of the sisters should be
discharged. Mr.. Blaine personally exam
ined their work, and informed the clerk
that one Of the young ladies was indispensa-
BILE in view Of her knowledge Of the Ian
guages, and the other kept the records in
such systematic order that he would dis
charge neither Miss Markoe has three sis
ters, two OF whom are married, and two
brothers, one married and living in Balti-
more and the other an engineer in the en-

The Big -Four" and the big One"
FiCayuue.


The Ring organs have made much
ado about the fact that Messrs. Fltz-
patrick, Me1ley. Duffy and Oavty have
declared for Governor Nichols. The
two latter supported McEnrry in the
last campaign, and their dsHtfection
together with that of many other ward
leaders has made it pretty clear that the
city will go against McEnery Ivy large
majority, apd hence has spread con-
>ternatiHn Snong the supporters OF that
candidate. -
These organs. therefore,, seek to
throw upoN what they cali the " Big
Four 49, hlame for our present muni-
cpal government. The people of New
Orleans need scarcely be told who is
the father of the present regime. They
are we'll aware that james ID. Houston,
az the leader of the McEnery faction in
the last election, dictated the entire
city ticket. The mayor WAS OF his fac
ton and the councilmen are of his
selection. For all the scandals and
half years he is responsible. He con-
trolls the State patronage of the Parish
and is therefore the representative of
Governor McEnery. We are therefore
now enjoying the sort of a municipal
government that we can expect from
that source in the future.
1t need not he asked whether the
people want repetition of the dose.
1t il not necessary here to e" into de
tails concerning the works of the pres
ent council, its deeds of omission aud
commission. They are familiar to every
taxpayer.
Now let us contrast the present city
administration with the one which
preceded it. The big One" did not
control the election that time, hnt
Mes>rs. Fitzpatrick and Mealey did.
They gave lis ii good mayor and Il good
Council General Brhan was mayor.
Citizens like Booth, Lagan. Handy,
Reilly, Rayne, Butler, MichneIiS, Graner
and others Iabored faithfully for the
public, and no suspicion Of cracked
work attached to their aldermauic
records.
The city was at once brought to
cash basis, the government w5s eco
nomically administered, its credit re-
stored, and important public improve
ments were inangurated and completed.
The change from the Bureau to the
representative system WAS hailed by
the public as Il btntticent one. They
did not dream of the reaction that was
to come so soon.
Looking back at this little municipal
history we may well conclude, as does
a correspondent whose communication !
IN this subject appears in another
that the MASSES of the people /
of this parish who are behind this
- Big Four" movement are now most
intent nn escaping from the grip which
the McEnery Ring has upon both the
State and the city.
